Always thought it was a bit of a overplayed trope that little boys love machines, but man does tinyest LOVE a train or a digger. I keep going "Look! a train!" even when I am out by myself.

Thinking I might take him out to gipsland on a vline this weekend for a cafe or something.

My son absolutely adored this book when he was little.

We bought him a couple of plushies from it too.

Definitely do a V line trip. He'll have a blast. Or Puffin Billy (I think it still operates).
